Fourth and fifth-grade Extended School Year students built paper airplanes after reading the book "Going Places" by Peter Reynolds. Students received a digital copy of a book that included videos demonstrating how to create various types of paper airplanes. They tried them out, and made a video reflection at the end. The activity touched on perseverance, not giving up, and being creative. #202proud
